I have some feelings of attraction to other girls.... Don't worry about it. It can be helpful to understand these feelings and what is behind them. What are they really all about? They might mean something other than "you're lesbian". Ask yourself, "What kind of girls am I attracted to? What am I really looking for?" That may at first seem like a strange question to be asking, but it can be a very helpful one. Are you attracted to other girls because you want to be popular like them? Perhaps you think they're better-looking than you, or they have an outgoing personality which is attractive to you. Perhaps your attraction to them is really a desire to hang-out with somebody; maybe you're just looking for a few friends. Maybe you're lonely, or you feel unaccepted. Perhaps you think you aren't as attractive or talented as the other girls. Maybe it is because you feel more comfortable and accepted by girls than by the guys you know. You may find it helpful to talk with someone who can help you with these questions. Are you lesbian? If you're a younger teen, that's something you don't need to decide yet. This is a time when some uncertainty about sexual feelings is very common. If you are an older teen and you've experienced feelings of sexual attraction to other girls for a long time, you may find the next question helpful. Whatever stage you're at, it's important to learn to like who you are -- you are valuable and special. You as a person are much more than your sexual feelings. It is sometimes hard to find friends who will respect you, but they will come -- sometimes without looking for them. Other times, you may have to actively participate in an activity or volunteer somewhere to meet good friends. |
